Comfortable and effective

I used these on a trip down under, so they had a 24hr flight each way in which to prove themselves. They definitely made me feel less tired than when I have done the same trip before, as you are not constantly battling with the noise of the aircraft to hear your music or film. They also meant that I was less terrified at thought of sitting near anyone with a small child!

Plus points:
- very comfortable
- noise cancelling works well with aircraft drone and noise in general
- case is very handy (and inlcudes adapter for airplane double jacks)
- AAA batteries mean you're not left without power half way through flight
- work as normal headphones without power
- generally feel well made

Negatives:
- do not cut out all noise (although once sound coming through you don;t really notice much)
- not sure about the x-fi bit, seems to work better on films than music
- plastic cover over battery compartment cheap
- they (like others in this category) are quire bulky and take up a bit of space in hand luggage

For the price they seem pretty good value

Best noise cancelling headphones I've ever tried!

These are the best noise cancelling headphones I've ever tried!!!

I haven't tried the Bose QC2/3 ones, but these ones are really top notch.

Soundwise I prefer the Sennheiser PXC 250, which have a more natural and detailed sound, even when the X-Fi function is used.

Battery life is good, when you only use the noise cancelling function.

Only disadvantage is that they are rather bulky and that the second battery is very hard to remove. Also wearing comfort could be slightly improved.

Other than that, I am really happy to own them and I use them daily at work!
